included materials!

Fifth Graders will learn the connections between American history, literature, and geography by reading classic historical novels such as Sing Down the Moon and The Sign of the Beaver.

Essential writing skills will continue to be developed, including paragraphing, outlining, and summarizing. Your student will write original reports, stories, and essays using the lessons about sentence types in our grammar unit.

Fifth Grade Calvert Math emphasizes problem-solving steps. Math covers multiplication up to three digits, geometry, multiplying and dividing fractions, and introduces integers.

Technology instruction will include research skills and basic HTML, while in science your child will study plants, weather, climates, and ecosystems. The geography unit will focus on regions of the United States.

But most exciting and unique to Calvert is our inclusion of art history in the Fifth Grade curriculum. Your student’s classical education will include picture
study and A Child’s History of Art: Painting, another text written by Virgil Hillyer, Calvert School’s first Head Master.
